franck kartell’s third full length release on bass agenda recordings sees him continuing to do what he has done since he began this creative trajectory of making concept driven albums, pushing himself, his art and your experience as a listener, into new realms.
as with his last album la jette d’orly, this next chapter in kartell’s adventures in creativity is inspired and influenced by the cinematic works and writing of chris marker.
following on from sell out albums afterlife and la jette d’orly the new double vinyl album coincidences immerses you in 12 distinct scenes, painted with sound.
to transport a listener to another plain within seconds is not easy, yet it is something franck kartell achieves here not once but 12 times in a row, sustaining the illusion of escape throughout each track, cradling your mind as it experiences beauty, majesty, fear, darkness, peace and wonder.
supported by thomas h green (the arts desk), dave clarke (including best electro of 2016), timeline music and many more.
dmitry distant’s side of the record sees a journey through abstract soundscapes, hefty dark atmospheric techno and electro, rounded off nicely by a dark funk injected remix from sweden’s obergman. all made live with machines, dmitry’s tracks are the authentic type of electronic music the popular scene would have you forget. no surprise then that his live schedule is taking him across europe including a gig alongside the mighty rude66 and luke eargoggle in berlin.
lectromagnetique takes you on a ride through some edgy, acidic and melancholic broken techno experiences. whilst many seek to portray that cold, sci-fi, and industrial vibe in their music, few get to draw on the experiences of living in the pripyat region on chernobyl’s doorstep. as you listen you can feel and visualise places you would otherwise never dare tread or let your mind wander to.
supported by dave clarke (including best of electro 2016), helena hauff, the black dog, mix mag (album of the month) and more.
ltd 2019 repress - sprung up from his much-fêted clubnight of the same name, bradley zero has enlisted fellow peckham local al dobson jr to inaugurate rhythm section international with this: rye lane volume 1, an 11 track mini-lp stuffed to the rafters with summery goodness. the importance of location on rye lane volume 1 appears both tantamount and inconsequential: many of the titles on offer dot specific points of reference on the map (peru, grenada, cameroon, columbia, peckhams rye lane), but dobson jr does his best to melt these heterogeneous influences down into something definably his own

ltd 2019 repress - debut album from blawan, possibly one of the finest techno records you ll hear this year ... physically and mentally draining in the best way possible, wet will always dry is maybe the most complete statement from blawan to date, and as such should be ignored at your peril. this becomes evident from the album-opening “klade,” a dizzying, tumbling flight of pure energy over overlapping fields of electrified menace. this sets the stage for “careless,” which retains the hazardous, crackling atmosphere but dials back the intensity just enough to make room for a new feature, blawan’s eerie and disembodied vocals.
touched music and furthur electronix two forward thinking labels have merged together to put out exclusive compilations. putting some of the best music in the electronic genre in one place.
vinyl will feature individual, hand illustrated sleeves. distraction combines thundering bass elements from darker techno with deeper, emotive pads and flourishes to create a meditative yet driving late night groove. best used to hush dance floor chatter in favour of getting heads down and putting a shift in. static and choke also play with juxtapositions of light and dark elements, with choke being the firmer of the two. both offer sounds ideal for creating trippy and introspective dance floor moments, while not allowing those hard fought for energy levels to drop. viber.
small edition on this nice label hailing from dresden, germany. this one goes in the best traditions of the dutch west coast sound of the 90 s. recommended!

prolific uk deep house hero andy compton is back on his fabled peng stable with a new project entitled blue dream, and an album called california dreaming which unsurprisingly deals in gorgeous sun soaked tones aimed squarely at the loungey end of his plush, melodic repertoire. from the slinking funk of -betsy- to the low-slung beats and smooth-as-silk bass of -disco baby,- compton shows himself to be completely at home rolling at this kind of tempo, no doubt projecting himself to the malibu beach idyll you can see on the cover. music so radiant, you d best slap on some sunblock.
its been five beautiful melodic years since the creation of french label hungry music, by worakls, nto, and joachim pastor. in order to celebrate this anniversary, the three artists created a special birthday deluxe box including some of the labels best music. this box will include the first ever vinyl & cd releases, special hm5 t-shirts, a hungry music bag, and stickers, as well as a chance to receive one of three vip golden tickets. those tickets will give three winners the chance to be invited to a concert of their choice with backstage access, hotel & dinner reservations, as well as a personal meeting with the artists.
005 is the second release on valby rotary for label co-head tom vr. “angel” is a euphoric and elegant club jam with intricate details dazzling throughout. the b side “getting the best of me” is a shuffling garage track built around an improvised arp synth line, with nostalgic chords for a tearful send off into the depths of winter.
up next on phonica white is brooklyn based artist justin cudmore. he is a well-known dj thanks to his memorable sessions at the bunker among other new york and many of the best clubs worldwide as well as teaming up with mike servito and gunnar haslam as hot mix dj collective. as well as djing, justin has always been a fan and creator of dance music, he started being part of chicago’s underground scene, deepening his appreciation for the classic house and acid that you can still feel in these new tracks. this new release follows in the wake of ‘forget it’, his last celebrated ep released by the bunker though in our minds his sound has progressed yet again, sounding fuller, faster and rounder. ‘twisted love’ gets straight to the point, with firm and strong percussion joined to a fickle acid bass line. in addition to this, justin weaves in some house-flavoured vocals to keep you hooked until the end of the track. a certified floor-filler of a track. on the flip is ‘about to burst’, a track that starts with a powerful kick drum and grows with new emerging elements, punchy hi-hats coming and going in key moments and a simple keyboard arpeggio that added to an acid bass line catches you instantly. justin’s new ep is unapologetically aimed at the dancefloor. its primary influence may be detroit-flavoured techno yet you’ll also find chicago house and acid elements floating over its powerful backbone, all combining in devastating way, primed for club use. artwork as always is supplied by the talented pedro carvalho de almeida.
another huge release from one of dance musics most exciting acts, tunnelvisions, who yet again highlight their forward thinking and organic productions as some of the best in the industry. on their second full-length album for atomnation, ‘the celestial ritual, the dutch duo deliver 11 unique club tracks that are bundled on a beautiful 4-vinyl box-set designed by visual artist merijn hos.

oufoufof represents the beginning of a new turn for shxcxchcxsh, one born out of a fresh conceptual approach to rhythm. having concentrated in recent years on music for more experimental scenes, shxcxchcxsh wanted to create music for the club, but not with the usual 4/4 approach. ...the main focus being our relationship with the dancers minds and how we do our best to fuck with them . stylistically, the project began with a discussion about rhythm, about what is interesting and what is not. the result is a conceptualized approach, one in which multiple sounds in each track are based around a single rhythmic pattern. this concept has been extended holistically, to track names and artwork. ultimately, what began life as a series of records has evolved into an eight-track lp of twisted, polyrhythmic studies in pattern and texture. fresh off the back of shulululu ep for avian, oufoufof, is the fourth studio long-player from the swedish duo and will be released on their own label rosten
